I can explain why in more depth to any Americans interested but they were always going to vote remain and if they vote remain and the UK does actually attempt to leave (unlikely) the odds are good that Scotland will stay. Is it your supposition that this vote is meaningless then (or are you saying Leave winning the vote is unlikely?)? | ||

Or Alaska, or New Hampshire, etc. Certainly, England on this front is vastly ahead of other similar countries (re: US/Canada/etc.). I wonder if Canada will ever let Quebec have a vote if they want to leave. Quebec did have a vote on independence in 1995. They decided to remain but it was extremely close (0.5%) | ||

That's pretty funny As someone completely ignorant about this vote, what exactly does it mean and why are certain demographics of the U.K. strongly supporting leave vs stay? | ||

Got if the vote goes through and they do exit, I hope it goes this route. Just for the Brave Heart memes. Seriously, all reports is that it would really bad if they leave the EU, I hope it doesnt' happen. Recessions are no fun.

I'm sure they exist, but historically, small nation states tend to do well economically because they generally have to compete better than larger states which means they tend to be more market oriented (re: Italian city-states, German city-states, places like Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, etc.). The world isn't going to fall apart if there are more local political units. | ||
